roma gets fucked; iggy passes theo; jersey wins cup

bullshit:
roma 3 - inter 3. i'll never get used to diving in soccer. balotelli's flop ruined a perfectly entertaining game and robbed roma of a much deserved win over (arguably) the best team in europe. after getting thoroughly outplayed in the first half inter did well to control the pace of the second, it's just a shame that they tipped the balance of the game on a dishonest play. very frustrating. and mourinho is a scumbag.

stooge

my favourite blooper ever:


deserved:
jarome iginla passed theo fluery as the flames' all-time leading point scorer with his 831st point last night. he had 5 points in an, uh, 8-6 loss. being a lifelong theo fluery fan i can honestly say that there is no other player i'd rather see break his record than iggy. he's just the best fuckin' captain (and player) they've ever had. after wayne, there is no other athlete i've ever loved more. can't wait for his 1,000th.

wicked ass

Looks pretty good... And not because you love them, but if Calgary picks up a solid grit guy or another D, they could make a run for it...

so leggi, instead of a grit guy we get olli, a big, goal-scoring, first line centre, and a good puck-moving d-man. contenders?

big time contenders. as much as Olli is not a grit 3rd liner, he's also not a franchise guy. That is still Iggy's team, no doubt about it. Olli will be good support, but not the sole reason they'll make a healthy run.
